I agree. If you look at his jobs before as position coach. Every place he was the guys at that spot were one of the best players on the team. Thus, why Pete gave him practices and coaching the players up as his responsibility. Many on here maybe they are quite do not seem to know this about Kiffin. He is crazy good at making college kids better imo based on his record.

Kiffin was never involved in it. It had nothing to do with him.

If Kiffin is the man, and I hope he is, he will be coaching for his career. This is his chance to really become someone in coaching. He had no chance at Oak, hell, Robert Neyland would've had no chance at Oak right now.

exactly. He may be looking for a jump in a few years but he will need to prove himself here. Most watching know it can be done by someone with the right skills

Did anyone see the Hall's Salvage Sports show on Sunday? One of the questions was who will be the next coach and the choices were Davis, Kelly, and Leach. No mention of Kiffin. These guys from the KNS have something against Kiffin...I'm not sure where it comes from but they blast him whenever they can. They are so far up Kelly's butt it's not even funny.

Having said all that, I wouldn't be dissappointed with either. I like Kiffin's recruiting experience and the staff he could put together but I like how Kelly seems to be able to develop players really well.

no no no..you've got it all wrong! They're still payin' the same at USC, it's just these players aren't as good!

True, but he could be announced on the 1st and remain silent on some of his coaches that will be on his staff because they are still in their seasons--NFL or College

And there it is. That was the nail in the coffin regarding your football analysis. Good luck and Good night. Go to rivals and check it out. They are an NFL team. Guys do not play on their squad and get drafted it is out of this world.
